Hi all, first off, congrats Christina........way to go!!! Anyway, this weekend was our duck opener, not the best we've had, but far from the worst. Saturday the pot hole we hunted didn't pan out to well, Will was able to limit, I got 4 plus a goose. Jim, only one. Not many birds flying, the weather was beautiful however. Here's some pics from Saturday:

Will with his birds and his Farbarm Beta Classis:

Today we switched to another pot hole, did much better, Will and I both limited within a couple hours. Weather again was wonderful. Jim didn't go today, wish he had!

Here's the pics:

Over all not a bad time, we'll see what next weekend brings!

Best!

Looks like all the ducks so far are of that peculiar early season species, the "LBD". I'll be glad when the birds take on their Fall colors and hope it happens before my October trip to Saskatchewan...Geo

Nice pics Greg but I think I'll wait till pheasant season. Waterfowl just doesn't get my gastric juices flowing.

Hi all, went out after work to a local spot and was able to limit in about an hour. Not a lot of birds as in the past, mostly singles and a couple pairs, all adult birds. Was a nice day however. I shot the birds with a 16ga Carl Goluch.

The gun and game:



My loyal and faithful GSP, Duchess:



Best!

Hi all, went out today after work for a little bit, was able to get two. Both were singles, no groups. My Duchess worked well as always.

I used my 12b Coggie Konor.



Best!

No matter what fortune brings the rest of this season, this will be one of my favorite game/gun pics; waterhole in the Texas panhandle......Son Jared with Beretta 470 12 ga. and daughter-in-law Maegan hunted with me and Bella the lab. Yep, that's a PINK Remington 20 gauge Maegan has. Now that she's learned to shoot and is pretty good at clays and birds, we plan on upgrading her to a 28 gauge SxS.

A great looking couple, but I can help but grin thinking how those shorts with western boots, would go over up here in Big Sky Country.

I certainly see why that photo will remain your favorite. It reflects a happy time with loved ones, the same quality that makes Greg's photos so enjoyable.

Bob, it's from a combination of damn hot weather and rattlesnakes. It makes perfect sense.

That'd be QUITE an upgrade!!

Nice pic there Gary, looks like they did well!

Today the boys and I went duck hunting, day started out with rain, then the front moved on to become sunny. The birds just were not moving for some reason. Did manage a limit and the boys got some birds also. Slow day, but still fun with my favorite hunting partners!!

Couple pics of the slough and part of our spread:





Will and Jim and the days bag:



Going to try another pot hole tomorrow, so will see what happens.

Best!
